Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1

A Pilot Study of Genetic Evaluation of Families with Endocrine Cancers in MEN1 syndrome

This study is being conducted to identify altered genetic factors that may exist and influence endocrine cancers in unrelated MEN1 families with different cancers. A grading system will be developed for endocrine cancers, including, pancreatic cancers, thymus gland cancers, parathyroid disease and MEN1 syndrome as low-risk and high-risk to improve screening and timing of surgery.
